Automotive-Grade Solutions
The breadth of our portfolio of automotive-grade microcontrollers (MCUs) and microprocessors (MPUs) is unmatched in the industry. Our AEC-Q100-qualified 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs, Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) and MPUs can be found in embedded control systems throughout the entire vehicle. These devices offer robust functional safety features to aid in the development of safety-critical applications, while our AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified devices simplify the creation of high-temperature (150oC) underhood applications.
To help you get your designs up and running quickly, we provide an MCAL driver software, developed in accordance with Automotive SPICE® to enable AUTOSAR compliance, along with a complete ecosystem of software libraries, reference designs, development and configuration tools.
